¿Qué sigue? : 20 lecciones para ser ciudadano ante un país en riesgo / by Dresser, Deniseauthor.(CARDINAL)683519;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 261-263)."Denise Dresser presenta una lectura urgente y necesaria: López Obrador sedujo a millones con su promesa de salvaguardar la democracia y ser un antídoto contra la regresión política y social de México. Hoy la distancia entre aquella esperanza y la realidad es insalvable. AMLO ha erosionado, con palabras y hechos, la institucionalidad deficitaria, reemplazándola con un ejercicio de gobiernocentrado sólo en él, rodeado de verde olivo. Por improvisación, por prisa, y por mala administración, heredará bombas de tiempo a su sucesora. Este libro es un manual para ejercer una ciudadanía valiente y lúcida ante el autoritarismo de AMLO y de cualquier nueva Tlatoani por venir. Contiene recomendaciones para resistir, para reconstruir y para armar futuros posibles y sostenibles. No puedes gobernar para el pueblo con métodos anti-democráticos y abusivos. No te dejes seducir. No te dejes comprar. No permitas que dejen de rendirte cuentas o traten de evitar la transparencia. No te vuelvas cómplice del despojo y el arrebato de tus derechos. ¿Qué sigue? La responsabilidad de asegurar un México moderno, próspero e incluyente también es tuya. Ejerce tu poder de control y castigo para rescatar al país."--Back cover."Denise Dresser presents an urgent and necessary reading: López Obrador seduced millions with his promise to safeguard democracy and be an antidote to Mexico's political and social regression. Today the distance between that hope and reality is unbridgeable. AMLO has eroded, with words and deeds, the deficient institutions, replacing it with a government exercise centered only on him, surrounded by olive green. By improvisation, by haste, and by mismanagement, he will inherit time bombs to his successor. This book is a manual for exercising brave and lucid citizenship in the face of the authoritarianism of AMLO and any new Tlatoani to come. It contains recommendations to resist, to rebuild and to build possible and sustainable futures. You cannot govern for "the people" with undemocratic and abusive methods. Don't be seduced. Don't let yourself be bought. Don't let them stop you from being accountable or try to avoid transparency. Do not become complicit in the dispossession and the taking of your rights. What's Next? The responsibility of ensuring a modern, prosperous and inclusive Mexico is also yours. Exercise your power of control and punishment to rescue the country."--Translated from back cover.

A continuous struggle : the revolutionary life of Martin Sostre / by Felber, Garrett,author.https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJpym43TV6XC9JqpfyWJjC(CARDINAL)403322; Kelley, Robin D. G.,writer of foreword.https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJdrJ3xTjdTRm8QWRcQ6rq(CARDINAL)265214;

Includes bibliographical references and index."Historian Felber (Those Who Know Don't Say) offers a vibrant biography of Martin Sostre, whose legal battles established the constitutional rights of prisoners. Born to Afro-Puerto Rican parents in 1920s Harlem, Sostre spent a significant portion of his life in prison. During his first prison stint in the '60s, he became affiliated with the Nation of Islam--which prison administrators viewed as a "criminal Muslim organization"--and participated in lawsuits that established religious freedom for prisoners. Upon release, he founded a chain of radical bookstores in Buffalo that brought together disparate activist groups, including the Marxist-Leninist Workers World Party and Students for a Democratic Society. When next incarcerated (as part of what was later revealed to be a COINTELPRO frame-up), he worked with these and other groups to form the Martin Sostre Defense Committee, which evolved into a network of autonomous groups around the country that agitated for freedom for political prisoners. Sostre also organized his fellow inmates in hunger strikes while facing down brutal retaliatory measures--he spent nearly five years in solitary confinement. Felber paints Sostre as a bold figure who embraced anarchism after growing frustrated with white radicals, rigid Marxist-Leninists, and the slow pace of mainstream organizations like the NAACP."--Publishers Weekly.

Un rêve d'Italie : la collection du marquis Campana / by Gaultier, Françoise,editor.(CARDINAL)784865; Haumesser, Laurent,editor.(CARDINAL)784864; Trofimova, Anna A.,editor.(CARDINAL)784863; Musée du Louvre,host institution.(CARDINAL)150431;

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.The Musée du Louvre and the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg are joining forces for an outstanding exhibition based on the collection built up by the Marquis Campana mostly between the 1830s and the 1850s. The Louvre Museum and the Hermitage Museum join forces for an exceptional exhibition on the very rich collection of the Marquis Campana, essentially constituted between the 1830s and the 1850s. With this collection, the most ambitious private collection of the 19th century, the Marquis Campana intended to give an image of the Italian cultural heritage, both ancient and modern. But the collection was seized after a resounding trial for embezzlement which was brought in 1857 and sold by the pontifical state. Its dispersion across Europe has aroused an emotion that testifies to its importance in Italian and European cultural consciousness. Major works of the collection were acquired in 1861 by Tsar Alexander II and came to enrich the collections of the Hermitage Museum. The rest - more than 10,000 items - was bought by Napoleon III and shared between the Louvre Museum and many provincial museums. Many primitives from the Campana collection, such as Botticelli's Madonna and Child , were later grouped together at the Petit Palais in Avignon, which opened in 1976.Catalogue de l'exposition présentée au musée du Louvre, Paris, du 7 novembre 2018 au 18 février 2019.00Le marquis Campana, personnage romanesque - entrepreneur, archéologue et philanthrope - a rassemblé entre les années 1830 et 1850 la plus importante collection privée d'Europe, qui rivalisait avec les grand musées publics de l'époque. Constituée avec le souci de représenter l'ensemble des productions artisanales et artistiques de l'Italie, de l'Antiquité à l'époque moderne, la collection Campana illustre un ± rêve d'Italie ? : elle participe du grand mouvement de définition politique et culturelle de la nation italienne, le Risorgimento. Mise en vente et dispersée en 1861, la collection a été acquise pour l'essentiel par le tsar Alexandre II et par l'empereur Napoléon III, sensibles au prestige du modèle culturel italien. La collaboration exceptionnelle du musée du Louvre et du musée de l'Ermitage permet pour la première fois de rassembler nombre de chefs-d'œuvre et de donner la mesure de la richesse et de la diversité de la collection Campana.

Nathalie Sarraute / by Jefferson, Ann,auteur,author.; Dauzat, Pierre-Emmanuel,traducteur.(CARDINAL)873241; Saint-Loup, Aude de,traducteur.(CARDINAL)873012; Traduction de :Jefferson, Ann.Nathalie Sarraute.;

Comprend des références bibliographiques et un index."Désormais lue et célébrée dans le monde entier, Nathalie Sarraute (1900-1999) aimait répéter qu’elle « n’avait pas de biographie ». En réalité, sa vie fut durablement marquée par les événements de son temps. Née en Russie, ballottée entre des parents divorcés, elle vécut une enfance solitaire, tirée entre deux vies, entre deux mondes : de la Russie tsariste à l’émigration russe à Paris, ou plus tard dans la clandestinité sous l’Occupation, qui lui imposa une identité juive. Cependant, la vie de Nathalie Sarraute fut ailleurs, tout entière tournée vers l’accomplissement de sa vocation d’écrivain. Réfugiée très tôt dans les livres, passionnée de littérature, elle élabore une forme d’écriture qui, dès la fin des années 30, ouvre la voie à la modernité avec ses Tropismes. Cette première grande biographie, nourrie d’archives inédites, montre l’émergence difficile de son œuvre dans l’univers littéraire de l’après-guerre dominé par le couple Sartre-Beauvoir. Nathalie Sarraute a cheminé longuement avant d’être la figure de proue du Nouveau Roman, toujours inquiète de n’être pas comprise, ne cessant d’expérimenter, y compris au théâtre ou à la radio. Proche d’Hannah Arendt, militant pour le droit de vote des femmes, participant à Mai 68 et défendant le jeune État d’Israël, l’écrivaine fut aussi attentive à son époque : elle afficha ses engagements politiques avec la vigueur de la combattante qu’elle ne cessa jamais d’être, luttant là encore avec ses propres armes : les mots."--Quatrième de couverture
